Facts and practical information

The Puerta de Tierra is a redoubt of what was once the entrance wall to the city of Cádiz, Andalusia, Spain. Erected in the eighteenth century by Torcuato Cayón, the cover is carved in marble and is designed more as a religious altarpiece than as a military fortification. It is of cultural interest.

It is one of the most significant monuments of the city, which separates, at present, the Old Town and the modern area of the city.
